Fleming added that he has ask- ed University attorneys "to explore the possibilities of civil damage suits against non-students for in- tentional invasion of the privacy of the classrooms." Organizers of the anti-ROTC movement planned meanwhile to go ahead with the scheduled dis- ruption of more ROTC classes to- morrow at 1 p.m. Fleming's statement, which re- peated two previous warnings that disrupters would be prosecuted under criminal statutory laws, was the first official admission that the University will also try to dis- cipline students before University boards, and sue non-students un- der civil laws. Fleming added that 15 of about 60 persons who entered ROTC classes Thursday have already been identified.

Hall classroomii rU' libraries leming's ROTC stand: By JUDY SARASOIIN A graduate student, John Wil- helm, went to the General Library recently to obtain the only volume there of a journal he needed for his dissertation work. However, Wilhelm was unsuccessful because the journal was being held, al- though it was far beyound the proper time limit, by a University professor. Wilhelm was not. the first per- son to ask for the journal--library staff had called for it several times before but the riofessor informed them not to bother him because he would return it when he wanted to. The head of the circulation de- partment of the General Library R. Anne Okey checked her files and discovered that the professor had at least 34 overdue books in his possession. The library staff insists that on- ly a small minority of the faculty is irresponsible and "totally con- temptuous" of other users of the library. But, this small minority is responsible for over 3,500 books that have been overdue for at least two months. This accounts for from one sixth to one tenth of the General Library circulation . The hard core abuser is quite different from the occasional ab- sent minded professor, teaching" fellowx. oir research assistant., notes Miss Okey and Wilhelm. Many swear at Miss Okey and her staff when they are requested to allow others the use of the overdue books. Although some - but not all--cooperate with other, professors. students invariably receive a worse response, Wilhelm says. "Most students now believe it's a hopeless situation and don't try to pursue the books," says Wil- helm. Chemistry Prof. Peter Smith, a member of the Student Relations Committee which heard the com- plaint from the library staff, says he was personally affected only once but his wife, a research as- sistant, and several of his students have had considerable trouble ob- taining overdue books. "It is not often that you have any trouble getting a book, but you remember the few belligerent re- sponses." says Smith. "You can always forgive someone who is just forgetful and is willing to cooperate, but not the unrenpet- ant cavalier who treads on other's rights." Smith believes "the extreme, ar'- rogant cavaliering of books should be taken into account" when a faculty member is being consid- ered for tenure or promotion. But, as the situation stands now, there are no sanctions against fac- ulty members who have overdue books. And library director Fed- erick Wagman and Miss Okey be- lieve, the situation is critical. Wagman went before SRC to request the committee to recom- mend to the Senate Advisory Com- mittee on University Affairs that sanctions be created.
